Right on. Now that we've got the ball rolling...If you like Blue 6 on Naked
Music (New York), you should also check out Miguel Mig's other Naked
projects- Lovetronic and Petal Pushers. Peacefrog are also releasing some
amazing intelligent deep house gems at the moment - check out David Alvorado,
Ron Trent Theo Parrish and Anthony Nicholson's LPs. Chris Gray has some
sublime music on Fragmented, Mind Massage (Music Is) UK labels, as well as
his own Deep4Life Recordings out of Chicago. IDM trainspotters should check
out the Deeper Side Of the Internet Various Artists album. It is a world
electonic compilation of C.Gray, Bug Orchestra, Merrick Brown etc. He also
has an amazing album called Emotional Distortion (Deep4Life) which fuses
ambient electronics and deeeeep house.
Also for purveyors of the minimal funk, I would reccomend any Theo Parrish
and Kenny Dixon Jnr. Theo's Sound Signature label is pumping out some fine
deep minimal funk tunes as with KDJ's label also from Detroit. There is also
Mike Grant's label Moods & Grooves out of the D - have released intelligent
listening house projects from Anton Miller, Rick Wade and Mike G himself.
Reccomended to those who get into Brinkmann's Soul Centre and any Playhouse
tunes.
These are just some fine examples of idm which probably can filed under the
'sub genre' of intelligent deep house. Classy and soulful music from the
Afro-perspective. Should provide some light relief from all that Squarepusher
banter...Anyone to add?
Cheers,
A Z
